Clotner Opera

Clonter receives over 200 applications each year from singers interested in auditioning for productions, which may include a fully staged opera with orchestra, staged Opera Gala evenings, a series of Masterclasses, culminating in an Opera Showcase evening and a series of Performance and Musical Theatre Workshops presented to children aged 8-18.

To manage expectations, Clonter would stipulate that applicants are either on a postgraduate course in vocal studies/opera, or are a recent graduate. There is a precedent for exceptions, i.e. applicants returning to a professional singing career. However, most singers who take part in the opera studios are under 30.

To apply you should send your CV (which includes a photograph), together with a completed application form, accompanied by links to three separate recordings, and forward these to auditions@clonter.org.

Applicants are asked to offer three contrasting items, of which the panel will listen to two arias not exceeding 10 minutes in total. Your choice of repertoire and presentation will play an important part in the panel’s assessment.

Applications for Clonter’s 2026 season are now open.

Please submit your CV, photograph, application form and video links by 4pm on 7th November 2025.
